Houston region ranks among housing markets with most stable growth

It’s no secret that home prices have been on the rise in the Houston area. In the past 25 years, home price more than doubled, increasing by 155 percent, according to a study by financial technology company Smartasset.

At the same time, Smartasset’s analysis of historical home price data says buying in Houston’s housing market is a sound investment. It pegs the probability of experiencing a 5 percent price decline within a decade after buying at zero.

All this has led the company to name the Houston, Woodlands and Sugarland region one of the housing markets showing the most stable growth in the country.

Other highly ranked Texas regions included Austin, which has experienced a 243 percent increase in home price in the past 25 years, Midland (214 percent increase), Odessa (174 percent), San Angelo (144 percent) and College Station (147 percent).
